Description

Vertigo (Paramount, 1958). One Sheet (27" X 41.75").
A noted director once said that for him, Vertigo began when
he saw the Saul Bass designed poster outside the theatre. The
artist uses a jittery font and a clever, unsettling spiral, pulling
the characters into a vortex of disequilibrium. A woman lies in a
pool of blood, a police-styled drawn outline around her, and
whether the man in black is harming or helping, remains eerily
uncertain. Three of the borders were very slightly trimmed, and
touchup has been applied to the folds. A quintessential piece for
both Hitchcock and graphic art connoisseurs. Fine+ on Linen.
